A bit of everything. Really don't expect to find a pattern in my posts. It just happens I like a lot of things, quite possibly even you. Just sit back and enjoy! my goodreads account: .

Squeaks is very people oriented for a cat that (as far as I can tell) spends most of his time outside.

Aang having the privilege of growing up with airbenders all around him and learning airbending straight from the monks in his temple but having to live the rest of his life as the last air nomad with no one to share his culture with.

Vs

Katara having the privilege of still having her people and culture but not ever being able to learn southern waterbending style because she never met another southern waterbender and only knowing the northern way of fighting and also having to grow up quicker.

Aang wishes he has the community Katara has and Katara wishes she had a childhood Aang had.

The Cheney Sentinel, Kansas, May 29, 1913

[northstareclipse]

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

I have a client who communicates exclusively via Microsoft Word.

If she has something to tell me, I’ll receive an email with nothing in the body, but a Word doc attached. That’s where she writes her message.

Whenever she wants to email me a photo, she does so via an empty Word doc with said photo set as its background.

But my favorite thing was the first time I witnessed her visiting a website. She had me spell the URL (“W… W… W… dot…”) and with my own two eyes I watched her type it into Word, made it a hyperlink, and Ctrl click it to go there.

I was so fascinated I didn’t even say anything.

forever thinking about that girl at my uni orientation who, after being told to pour out her water bottle before entering an event, looked at me and said "they tell us to stay hydrated and then make us pour out our water, this is like totally kafkaesque" and then poured out what was very obviously an entire water bottle full of whiskey. hope she's doing well.
